Sony Cybershot DSCW80 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 camera, equipped with a 7.2-megapixel Sony Super HAD CCD, captures stunning images brimming with detail and clarity, perfect for large prints or tight cropping. Powering the new capabilities of this camera is the advanced Bionz processor, which enables features like Face Detection, in-camera retouching, and red-eye reduction.

Featuring a top-quality Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens, the DSC-W80 allows users to frame their shots with precision, making it an excellent choice for family sports, outdoor adventures, and travel photography. The camera's Face Detection technology automatically controls focus, exposure, color, and flash, ensuring natural-looking skin tones and eliminating harsh facial glare - helping to bring out the personalities and emotions that make memories come alive.

The Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution combines the power of Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization and high-sensitivity (ISO 3200) shooting, allowing users to capture sharp, clear images in low-light conditions without the need for a flash, preserving the mood of the moment. Sony's Clear RAW Noise Reduction further ensures that low-light shots are free from distracting picture noise.

Expanding the viewing experience, the DSC-W80 offers direct HD output to compatible HDTV screens, so users can enjoy their still photos in stunning high-definition clarity and detail. The camera's HD slide show with music feature allows for an immersive, high-definition viewing experience, with the option to add visual effects and background music.

The camera's 9-point autofocus system provides greater creative freedom, allowing users to compose their images with off-center subjects. Additionally, the D-Range Optimization feature, powered by the Bionz processor, preserves image data in bright highlights and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas, ensuring great results even in challenging lighting conditions.

In-camera retouching capabilities let users add creative effects to their photos after shooting, including soft edge filters, cross filters, partial color filters, and even fish-eye lens effects. The built-in red-eye reduction function also helps eliminate this common photo pitfall.

The DSC-W80 features a large, bright 2.5-inch LCD screen for composing shots, checking results, and sharing photos, while also offering an optical viewfinder for a traditional shooting experience. Setup and controls are user-friendly, with a Home button that opens a graphical user interface and on-screen Function Guide to assist with camera operations.

With 31MB of internal memory and support for Memory Stick Duo media, the DSC-W80 provides ample storage options, making it a great choice for travelers or quick, spontaneous shots. The camera's 14x Smart Zoom feature intelligently crops the central portion of interest, avoiding the image degradation associated with other digital zoom techniques.

Finally, the DSC-W80 delivers impressive battery life, with up to 340 shots from a fully charged NP-BG1 Lithium-ion battery, and the included Picture Motion Browser software simplifies uploading, organizing, and searching photos on a PC, including a convenient map view function using an optional GPS unit.
